Chapter 5: Dismounting
The so-called gold talisman is a thing that tomb robbers carry with them to ward off evil spirits. The "gold touch" is conical, with a sharp front end, and the lower end is inlaid with gold threads by hollowing out gold inlay. The whole body is glazed black, and the light is transparent.
Aunt Hua once said to me that Chen Sanlianzi, the head of the Four Great Avenues, is my father, and my father is the threshold of the older generation.
It is said that Chen Sanlian's master of stealing the door inherited the ancient method and took the path of the gold touching faction, and this gold touching talisman belonged to the gold touching faction.
All tomb robbers have their own means and their own merits, but there are all kinds of sects, three religions and nine streams, but they are ever-changing. These tomb robbers were eventually divided into four factions. Hair hills, touch gold, move mountains, unload mountains!
The ancestor of the gold faction is the hero Cao Cao, when the army fought in the south and the north, and the world was dominated, but there was inevitably a shortage of money, so Cao Cao thought of a way to damage the shadows, and after digging people's graves, he evolved into a captain of the gold school.
Touching the gold, the captain went in and out of the mansion, digging graves and stealing treasures.
But they inevitably encountered some weird and bizarre things, touching the golden talisman on the body, you can block the gods and turn evil into good fortune, so later they entered the industry with this as a token, intending to ask the ancestor to bless the promotion and wealth, there are no taboos.
Originally, the gold talisman was a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and the original nine were handed down, but later due to various hidden reasons, six were destroyed during the Ming Dynasty, and only three were left in the world.
Back then, my grandfather Chen Sanlian devoted half his life to searching and searching in many ways, and only then did he collect all the three gold talismans in his pocket.
It's a pity that the three gold talismans were all lost, and one of them was rumored to have fallen into the hands of the Jinling Han family.
It seems that Aunt Hua left me here so that I could take back all the three gold talismans.
When the fat man saw that I was thoughtful, he flattered me and leaned into my ear.
"Little Manye, let's not talk too much about the fat master, there is still something to do with this Chang'an realm, and the Han family also said something, if you are interested, I can introduce it from it."
There is a fat line, no need to use it in vain.
In the afternoon of the same day, the fat man took me to the Han family's courtyard to visit the head of the Han family.
But I didn't expect that the other party wouldn't even give the fat man face of the head snake, and let him touch the ashes of his nose.
"Fat man, you also know that our Han family head is busy with things, and not everyone can see it if they want to! Like those nobody, don't push us here, are you really not afraid of insulting your name? β
The fat man was also full of embarrassment, and the Han family sent the juniors of the Han family to refuse our invitation, and it was extremely shameless to give us a closed door.
Unexpectedly, in front of the two of us, this junior actually made sarcastic remarks to me, saying that I was an unpopular character, trying to make me retreat.
My face sank.
Who in the Han family has a big business, and my family is in decline, but the name is still there, how can they be so humiliated?
I just wanted to speak, but the fat man quickly patted the back of my hand comfortingly, and responded to the Han family with a smile.
"Han Si, this is Aunt Hua's personal disciple, isn't this identity enough to meet your family master?"
The head of the Han family is over 80 years old, and there are four sons and three daughters under him, and the son of the Han family is more than 60 years old, and this Han Si is his youngest son, but the age is only 20 and 8.
The head of the Han family is always romantic, and he has such a son when he is nearly half a hundred years old, and he has always been careful of his head and pet.
But this Han Si was born in the outer room, and his mother was pressed by the main room and could not be put on the table, so she was left to be raised elsewhere, and only this son was brought to the Han family.
Therefore, this Han Si's identity is not up or down, and he is respected and praised on the surface, but he despises this guy's background behind his back.
The head of the Han family asked Han Si to come out to spread the word, and his attitude was already extremely obvious, and he clearly didn't look down on me, and he wanted to slap the fat man's face fiercely.
But we want to make trouble for this, but we can't find a reason. After all, Han Si is also the fourth son of the head of the Han family in the final analysis, and we can't fault the name.
When the fat man said this, there was already a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
I have no doubt that with this guy's ruthlessness, if Han Si dares to speak out again, he will inevitably go crazy and smash people!
Han Si was frightened by the ferocity in the fat man's eyes and took a step back, but he quickly stood up again.
He glanced at me and replied with a non-smiling smile.
"Fat man, I respect you as a fat man, and don't take Qiao in front of me! If Aunt Hua is standing here today, then I will knock three times and knock nine times, and I will definitely be entertained with good tea and wine, and I will definitely give three points of thin noodles. β
As he spoke, Han Si looked me up and down extremely critically, hooking his lips and sneering.
"But if someone comes to the door at random, and they say that they are Aunt Hua's personal disciples, then we can each dress up and entertain us? Please come back, both of you! β
The fat man's fist rattled.
He suddenly burst out and kicked on a tree beside Han Si, and actually kicked the bowl of the thick tree into two.
The fat man shook off the dust on his feet and stared at Han Si with a gloomy face.
"Han Si, you're not a character to me, I even dare to fight your Han Er, what kind of thing are you?"
Han Si's gaze moved downward, and he looked at the hole that was kicked out by the fat man, and his face was extremely ugly.
The fat man reached out to probe Han Si and reached out to brush the non-existent dust on his shoulder.
"Xiao Manye is my honored guest, if you dare to speak disrespectfully, I will dare to let you go out and plant a pit tomorrow, do you believe that the fat man has this ability?"
Han Si didn't dare to let go of a fart, and took half a step back with a frightened expression.
His Adam's apple rolled, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
"But this is what my father meant, he knows that the purpose of your coming is to touch the golden talisman, and his old man said that no cat or dog is qualified to negotiate conditions with him."
Seeing that the fat man clenched his fists again, Han Si hurriedly took half a step back and shouted at the top of his voice.
"So before I came out, my old man said that if you want to enter the door, you have to let us see his ability first!"
Han Si pointed at me with one hand, and the other hand vigilantly clasped the door, as if he was afraid that we would suddenly attack.
"My old man said that as long as he can get three things, then he can talk about touching the golden talisman."
"Which three?"
"Living corpse clothes, princess swords, paper cones!"
The fat man's fist was hard again.
Even I couldn't help but be secretly surprised, these three things can be encountered but not sought, even the Han family itself may not be able to get their hands on it.
In ancient times, there was torture to cut the scalp and inject mercury into it, and use the mercury to separate the skin and flesh texture, which can ensure that the human skin is intact and adhesive. Later, the elder was seen to peel the human skin alive with the secret method, and the human skin was as solid as cowhide, which could not be broken or damaged under the huge tearing, commonly known as corpse clothes.
Legend has it that a tomb robber encountered this kind of thing in the ancient tomb, and later entered with a companion and found a skeleton wrapped in corpse clothes to absorb essence and blood, and learned about this thing from the mouth of the dying person, and it was passed down from generation to generation among the tomb robbers.
The princess sword is to find a female corpse, and the female corpse is not an idle person, and the identity must be a noble princess. The sword refers to her backbone, also known as the yin bone, which can be concocted into a soft sword by willow nails, iron rings, and the special method of goldsmiths!
There is a mechanism on it, and the princess's sword is extremely weekdays, sharpening iron like clay and sealing the throat with a sword. But if you press the mechanism, the princess's sword can crack inch by inch, and it will be drawn into a soft whip with an inverted claw and golden hook, which cannot be pulled out when it enters the flesh.
The woman belongs to the yin, and the royal family is ordered by the sky.
The princess's status is extremely noble, and after her death, she is resentful and fierce, stained with corpse poison, and if the holder is not hard enough, she will die ominously.
The paper man cone should find a paper maker, grind it into powder with 100 human bones, soak it in the water of the dark river for half a year, and wait for it to produce soft foam scum and send it to steam. Then use dark river water to wash the bone pulp, beat the pulp and dry, and then flatten the water to obtain bone white paper.
The papier-mΓ’chΓ© will cut the white paper into an awl with a sharp and hard iron method, which can suppress the ghosts and crucify the soul of the person so that it cannot be reincarnated.
The paper cone nails the soul, and even some fierce gods and ghosts have to take off a layer of skin, which is a rare thing to exorcise evil spirits. However, because of its evil nature, many paper-binding craftsmen who have used this object have ended up in a mad and crazy end, and it is said that their souls were scattered by the paper cones.
Not to mention that there are not many paper-making craftsmen now, and this paper man cone alone is said to be just a legendary thing, and no one has ever seen it at all!
The Han family asked for these three things, obviously making excuses to refuse, and was resolutely unwilling to hand over the gold talisman.
The fat man couldn't help but step forward to make a move, but I dragged him back.
I looked into Han Si's eyes and spoke indifferently.
"So as long as I bring these three things in exchange, you can give me the gold talisman, is that what you mean?"
Han Si was sweating profusely when I asked, and he didn't respond for a while.
However, at this moment, the sound of the bright bell suddenly remembered in the door of the house.
"Of course, the people of my Han family keep their promises, and they will not regret what they say."
The fat man tugged at my sleeve in surprise and whispered in my ear.
"This voice is the head of the Han family......"
I nodded, I had expected it.
I hugged my fist at the Han family, pulled the fat man and turned around and left.
Han Si immediately sneered.
"I kindly advise you today, don't lose your life for this recklessness......"
With a snap, a stone exploded on the door next to Han Si's ear.
I faintly glanced back at him.
"Next time, it's your eyes!"
Ignoring Han Si's trembling chaff, I dragged the fat man straight to the graveyard of the ghost.
I've never liked dragging mud and water, and I'm going to have to get my clothes back this time!
"Little Manye, where are we going?"
"Corpse Hunt!"
"You can only find this thing in the ancient tomb, right?"
I smoked a cigarette, shoved it into my mouth and spat out a smoke ring.
"Fatty, if I'm not mistaken, there is a yin and yang tomb at the east end of Chang'an......"
Before I could finish speaking, the fat man's face changed dramatically.
He stepped forward and grabbed me by the shoulder, his eyes filled with horror and embarrassment.
"Little Manye, you may not have heard of the legend of this Yin and Yang Tomb, and you may not be able to come back if you go in this place, you ......"
I smiled and took the fat man's hand away, turned around and handed him a cigarette to light a fire.
"Yin and Yang Tomb Ten Thousand Corpse Pits, the flames of war burn souls full of caves, the living enter the dead and return, and the living avoid it!"
My breezy expression seemed to be so startled that the fat man couldn't come back to his senses, and he forgot to take the cigarette I handed over.
His face was ugly, and he muttered.
"Little Manye, you actually know this nursery rhyme?!"
I nodded and dropped the butt of my cigarette and smashed it with one kick.
"Are you really a dry eater when I stay in Chang'an for so long? The fat man gave you a chance, do you want to go to the grave with me? β
I turned around and lowered my voice to bewitch the fat man.
"You help me prepare my things, and follow me to the grave. If we can come out from below, I'll help you get the "Essay Script", haven't you always wanted to take back this relic of your milk? β
